Dismissed
The Board dismissed the Veteran's appeals for service connection for tinnitus and a lumbar spine disability due to untimely filing of the VA Form 10182.
The deciding factor: The appeal was untimely as it was filed more than nine years after the most recent rating decision, and no good cause was shown to extend the time for filing.
